Agilent Technologies Inc. announced two new frequency options for the N9000A CXA X-Series signal analyzers. The new options provide a low-cost solution for essential microwave signal characterization up to 13.6 GHz and 26.5 GHz.To help customers meet tighter test requirements and enhance test margins, the N9000A CXA signal analyzercapabilities include 163 dBm displayed average noise level (DANL) at 1 GHz and 147 dBm at 26.5 GHz with preamplifier on.
RFMD’s RFFM6901 is a single-chip front end module (FEM) for applications in the 868/915MHz ISM Band. The RFFM6901 addresses the need for aggressive size reduction for typical portable equipment RF front end design and greatly reduces the number of components outside of the core chipset, thus minimizing the footprint and assembly cost of the overall solution.
Linear Technology Corp. introduces the LTM4641, a 4.5 to 38 V input, 0.6 to 6 V output, 10A step-down µModule® regulator with comprehensive electrical and thermal protection for loads such as processors, ASICs and high-end FPGAs. The LTM4641 µModule regulator monitors input voltage, output voltage and temperature conditions.
RF Micro Devices Inc., a global leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance radio frequency components and compound semiconductor technologies, unveiled multiple leading-edge GaN-based CATV amplifiers, in conjunction with the SCTE Cable-TEC Expo in Orlando, FL. The new CATV amplifiers include the RFPD2940 – a best-in-class, high-power GaN-based CATV power-doubler amplifier, as well as GaN-based push-pull CATV amplifiers, RFPP2870 and RFCM3080.
AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation has created single band Models 15S1G6 & 50S1G6. They provide 15 & 50 W of linear output power across the 1 to 6 GHz frequency band with excellent gain flatness. The ability to use one band instead of two means you use less power, and don't require the amplifiers to be switched from one band to the other to perform the required tests.
Anritsu Company introduces the MT8870A universal wireless test set with manufacturing test capability for up to eight user equipment (UE) devices in a single mainframe without the need for external switching. The tester’s basic module includes an integrated vector signal analyzer (VSA), vector signal generator (VSG), and multi-core processor.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announces immediate availability and full design support capabilities for three single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switches designed using the 0.25µm GaN on SiC production process from TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. (TriQuint). The TGS2351-SM, TGS2352 and TGS2353 switches are ideally-suited for high power switching applications.
RFMD’s new high linearity WiFi front end modules provide complete integrated solution in a single front end module (FEM) for WiFi systems. The ultra-small form factor and integrated matching minimizes layout area in the application and greatly reduces the number of external components. This simplifies the total front end solution by reducing the bill of materials, system footprint, and manufacturability costs.
